work is must

A person who is able to work only for the well being of others is called the best, the luckiest

This shloka of geeta says:

Everything which is done for sake of others or performing once duty is worship as per Geeta. The person who can cherish the feeling of working for others soon gets over the addiction toward positive results and agonies related to the negative results of his works.

A sage should never perform for his own pride, fame, pleasure, happiness or luxury. These are counted as addiction in Geeta.

Even our every day duties if done without addiction is treated as worship in Geeta, Geeta doesnot forbids performance, it forbids performance with addiction (for positive result) and agony (for negative results). It suggests to perform nonchalantly. Without caring about the results.

Peformance of one’s duty with underlying desire of own happiness, fame, luxury etc binds us to the performance and results in rebirth.

  1. Recalls Sukas story . He was a great sage but was advised by a woman on Jnana. She got it through the performance of her duty selflessly
